Saving downloaded pic's as screensavers

G

Guest

Hi out there. One of my favourite web sites is a site called web shots. They
have some fantastic photo's of which I used to save as screen savers and then
run them as a slide show screensaver. I no longer seem to have this option
with Vista in right click or anywhere else when attempting to save them. One
of the options is save as wallpaper but of course this is not what I want.
Can anyone help with this as I do require a screensaver and would prefer
beautiful pics to what I currently have as the standard screensavers.
Thx...

Save the photos to some folder. The right click a blank area of the desktop
| Personalize | Screen Saver. In the Screen Saver drop down box select
Photos. Then click settings, Browse to the folder that has the pics,
highlight it and click Ok. Then choose whatever other screen saver settings
you want, when done click Save. Set the wait time and On resume settings of
your choice, click Apply and Ok out.

Bit weird eh?
I have the same web shot setup on mine and when I right click on any pic -
either the thumbnail or the full image - I get the SAVE AS prompt that
defaults as JPEG................. tried lots of sites and all the
same............
I just bulk save them under a folder called SCREENSAVER then go to DISPLAY
PROPERTIES x SCREEN SAVER, scoll down to PHOTOS and then browse for the
above folder.

The screen saver is called "Photos". Select the folder of photos in
Settings.
